“He makes it appears as though crystals and highly ordered organic molecules belong to the same class, when in fact they do not. When a crystal is broken up, the smaller crystals are physically and chemically identical to the original. This is never observed with organic molecules ; when the original molecule is split up, lesser molecules appear, and part of the original information is lost. To ignore such FUNDAMENTAL differences in an effort to arrive at some general overview or law is to create a FALSE overview, a pseudolaw.”
BRUNO : Merci de nous rappeler qu'on savait faire la différence entre un cristal et une molécule organique il y a vingt ans et que l'analogie est dangereuse.
“… to say that “there is an obvious tendency of nature from disorder to order and organisation” and to advance this idea to a “fourth law” is to misunderstand completely and to compromise all of thermodynamics”
BRUNO : On est d'accord avec vous. Ce serait plutôt un argument d'évolutioniste théiste ou d'adepte du principe anthropique.
“ … Yet, under ordinary conditions, no complex organic molecule can ever from spontaneously but will rather disintegrate, in agreement with the second law. Indeed, the more complex it is, the more unstable it is, and the more assured, sooner or later, is its disintegration.
BRUNO : Oui, d'accord. C'ets pour ça qu'il faut qu'on mange.
Photosynthesis and all life processes, and life itself, despite confused or deliberately confusing language, cannot yet be understood in terms of thermodynamics or any other exact science.”
BRUNO : Autrement dit, on ne pouvait pas mettre d'équation mathématiques sur ces phénomènes il y a vingt ans. Mais on ne dit pas que la thermodynamique s'oppose à ces phénomènes. Vous devriez le savoir maintenant, on en a assez discuté.
